Pidgin Eye features thirty-five years of poetry by acclaimed author Joe Balaz.
Writing in Pidgin (Hawaii Creole English), he honors the beauty, strength, and complexity of Hawaiʻi and the voices of its peoples. Balaz's philosophical lyricism tightly weaves history and humor, aloha ʻāina and protest, the spiritual and the everyday. Together, these poems envision a world in which-like Pidgin-"everyting deserves to fly."
